I wonder if you could document an example of so-called "liberal
scholarship's" dismissal of Dana and Mantey because they "stick with
Scripture"? Personally, I have found some of your exegetical endeavors
nothing more than a defense of your tradition with little interaction
with competent Greek scholars who take an alternative position.

Please show an example of how the use of extra-biblical Greek has
distorted or twisted Scripture. Unless you are willing to demonstrate
your accusations or document your evidence stop impugning the motives of
others.
